Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars
As far as doors go, I guess the reasoning is for a very quick exit during a fire. Those were the days before on-board fire suppression systems and I believe even Gas Rhonda was burned badly in a funny car fire. If you've seen the video of Dick's famous wheelstand in New York that ended in a fire, it's amazing how fast he gets out of the car!
